It’s not that black and white. A simple hint when installing or downloading, “hey did you know that there are these starter packs?” would already do wonders.
It’s not that people are suggesting emacs tries to be everything to everyone; heck, by pure virtue of its extensibility, emacs is actually the one editor that could potentially be everything to everyone. But a simple startup screen, “hey, it looks like this is your first time using emacs. what kind of defaults would you like?” would do wonders and existing users would be entirely unaffected.

Automating the Starter-Pack-Installation at virgin start and adding one or two out of the box would be better. Many people are not downloading emacs directly. On Linux you go through your destribution.
